TELEMETRY PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FUZE FOR THE XM474 PROJECTILE,
Abstract
Research is presented on the development of a telemetry system to monitor the functionings of a mechanical time fuze mounted in an artillery projectile under actual flight conditions. The development and operation of unique microminiature transducers used to sense the mechanical motion of the various fuze mechanisms are also described. The operation of solid state circuitry which was developed to amplify and process transducer output signals, which modulate the subcarrier oscillators of an FM-FM telemetry transmitter is presented. Also, included in the report are the results of gun-fired, shock and spin testing of transducers, and solid state circuit components, which were subjected to acceleration shocks and spins of 22,000 g's and 22,500 rpm, respectively. The characteristics and availability of radio telemetry transmitters that can be fired in an artillery projectile are also enumerated. (Author)
